Conscious Capitalism
Teddy Roosevelt once observed, Men of great wealth often don’t know much beyond the source of that wealth. “You expect a man of millions, the head of a great industry, to be a man worth hearing,” but as a rule they don’t know anything outside their own business.”
Cooperate with others to meet the 21st Century Challenge
We all want a sense of belonging without sacrificing our sense of self, but how do we do that? How do we free ourselves from the need to conform and to repress our creativity in order to belong in an intimate relationship, family, or work situation. The energy that drives personal growth lies in the polarity between two very human drives, to be ourselves and to be connected to others. These drives manifest most dramatically in our one-on-one and group relationships. Most of us could benefit from a wider repertoire of skillful alternatives in our relationships at home or at work. Often we react based on patterns from our family of origin or from an emotional wound suffered earlier in life. The most effective way to avoid this cul-de-sac is to pursue an integral approach to psycho-spiritual development.
Since all of us are in a myriad of relationships where we are called to express our unique talents, and at the same time to participate according to group norms, we are all faced with the simultaneous challenge of reconciling autonomy and belonging. Very few of us are able to skillfully express the fullness of our being in a way that engages us in genuine connection and helps the groups we are part of evolve further along the spiral of development. Only by creating a harmony between our deep desire to belong (to another, a family or a larger community) with our ambition to actualize our creative talents can we move beyond the unsatisfying dilemma of isolation or enmeshment.
It seems increasingly clear that the current systems and structures of American life no longer provide a clear path forward for future generations.
When we pay attention, we realize that nature wastes nothing and that as old structures collapse, they become fertile ground for the next creative emergence. This ReGenerative principle applies to the personal, social and environmental challenges that confront us all.
